      If you’re a young person with disability who needs “in-the-moment” adjustments at work, try this. Before each shift, send your supervisor a 30-second message. Top 1–2 support needs for the day (reminders, a sensory-friendly break, or clearer role expectations). Then finish with: “How can we make today easier?” It keeps performance steady and stops small issues from snowballing. Want personalised job coaching and employer-linked training?

      Everyone assumes the milestone is “getting the job”. Not for young people with disability. The biggest milestone is when you become “placement-ready” to an employer. Not because the disability is gone. Because your supports are in place, your strengths show, and you can walk into a workplace ready. So celebrate the proof: Your first successful work trial (with support working like it should). The first time you advocated for the adjustments that let you do your best work. The skill you used to stay consistent on placement. That momentum matters. It’s what points to your next role.

      “Just be confident” doesn’t work. Confidence is built by rehearsing adjustments, not pretending you don’t need them. Try our 10-minute workplace confidence drill: write the exact adjustment you’ll ask for (quiet interview room/extra time), practise it as a calm one-sentence request, then pair it with one strength you bring to the role. When you walk in, you’re prepared, not hoping. Enquire Now #YouthDisabilityEmployment #InterviewTips #WorkplaceConfidence #EmploymentServices Learn more at https://nextgenye.com.au/
